Masters Historic Racing is to return to Donington Park in 2019 for the first time in three years

-

THE Masters Historic Racing organisati­on will return to Donington Park on June 8-9, 2019, for its first event in three years at the circuit.

Masters is one of the leading organisers of historic motorsport in the world. It boasts an impressive roster of series and championsh­ips, and frequently assembles big entries of spectacula­r rare and valuable cars spanning several decades.

The Masters Historic Festival will feature a three-hour race for cars eligible for the Spa Classic Six Hours, meaning a cavalcade of Ford GT40s, Mustangs, Jaguars E Types, and Aston Martins, Porsches and Lotuses are likely to be in attendance.

The FIA Masters Historic Sports Car series will also have a non-championsh­ip race, featuring a stunning grid of Le Mans-style sports cars and Group 4 period cars from 1962 to 1974, with further action to come from the Masters Pre-66 Touring Cars, which will feature anything from V8 monsters down to the humble Mini.

The festival will also feature the Dutch GT&TC series for cars from 1966-1981, as well as guest races from the Historic Sports Car Club.

Tickets for the 2019 Masters Historic Festival will go on sale soon.

The Donington Park Season Pass, and the MSV Four Wheel Season Pass, both on sale now, will cover entry to the festival and other events.
